5.2 Calibration

Calibration ensures correct media detection. Use Standard Calibration if the quick method

(see Section 3.4) fails.


5.2.1 Standard

Calibration

Standard Calibration provides dynamic readings, which can be helpful when using media

with small position-critical notches or marks. Three calibration samples are required:

Empty – with nothing over the sensor;

Gap (or Mark) – with media liner, a notch, or a mark over the sensor; and,

Paper – with the label (and liner, if any) over the sensor.

Calibrate the Media Sensor using the steps below:

Before proceeding, ensure that the ADVANCED MENU is enabled (see Section

4.2.4) and that the SENSOR TYPE is selected (see Section 4.2.1).
